orchestrating-work

orchestrating-work is a skill for Claude Code from isvlasov/rageatc-oss. It costs 39 tokens per session (964 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for coordinating several software agents through multiple stages of work. It covers checking inputs, organising files, reviewing agent results, and deciding when a workflow can move to its next phase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate task paths and deliverables, invoke agents with complete instructions, run producer-and-critic review cycles, and accept or reject agent output.
Why use it?
It helps prevent agents from starting with missing context and makes their work subject to explicit review before it is accepted.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

orchestrating-work scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Orchestrating Work

Execution principles for multi-agent workflows: input validation, work acceptance, file organisation, and phase transitions. Workflow structure (which phases to run) lives in designing-workflow.

1. Validate Inputs Before Invocation

Agents need complete context to work independently — every missing input costs a clarification round-trip.

Universal requirements for ALL agents (read agents/<agent-name>.md for agent-specific ones):

  • Absolute path to work/<task-id>/ directory
  • Absolute output path for the deliverable
  • All dynamic skills provided as file paths or inline content, never just names. Preloaded skills (listed in the agent's skills frontmatter) are injected automatically.
  • All agent-specific required inputs present
  • All paths absolute (no ./ or ../)

Before invoking: check universal requirements, read the agent's file for specific ones, then wait for the agent to echo its inputs.

If validation fails: STOP, identify and provide the missing inputs, re-validate before re-invoking. If the agent does not echo inputs: STOP — silence indicates malformed or truncated instructions; verify and re-invoke.

2. Accept or Reject Work Deliberately

Rejecting work during review costs one iteration cycle; accepting substandard work costs post-deployment rollback and rework.

Universal criteria for all artefacts:

  • Output file exists at declared path; not empty or truncated
  • Basic structure present; assigned task addressed completely, not partially or tangentially
  • No TODO markers or placeholders (unless explicitly planned for next iteration)
  • Brief requirements addressed (cross-reference the brief checklist if one exists)

Then apply artefact-type standards from the governing skill:

Artefact type Reference skill
Skills (SKILL.md) writing-skills
Research outputs conducting-research
Reviews (critic outputs) assessing-quality
Briefs creating-briefs

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
